The ballet world can feel cozily included in American culture when the Kennedy Center honorees include Natalia Makarova next to Dustin Hoffman and David Letterman. If it doesn't make her a household name, it brings ballet closer to American families.
There's been a string of tributes to the great ballerina lately. Ours was in the May 2010 issue, marking 40 years since her defection and the 30 since her staging of La Bayadère. Click here for my interview with her at that time. (She received a Dance Magazine Award much earlier, in 1977.)
And last spring Youth America Grand Prix honored her with their gala. Click here to find out which of today's superstars danced in her honor.
And now, the Kennedy Center has honored Makarova. The list of dancers who performed in tribute to her last night is a knockout combo of ABT and NYCB dancers: Julie Kent (who receives her Dance Magazine Award today!), Marcelo Gomes, Angel Corella, Alina Cojocaru, David Hallberg, Tiler Peck, and Veronica Part. Keep your eye on our blog space because NYCB principal dancer (and our stunning June cover subject) Sara Mearns will be writing an on-the-ground report of that event. The gala evening will air on CBS on Wednesday, Dec. 26 at 9PM EST/PST—check your local listings.
And, to give you an idea of Makarova's own sense of giving tribute, read what Natasha herself wrote about her first dance partner, Nikita Dalgushin, who passed away last summer. —Wendy Perron

Andres Fernandez: NICKNAME:"Andy" BIRTHPLACE: New York, NY HOMETOWN: New York, NY RESIDES: Los Angeles, CA Wiith his fresh brand of humor that is universal in its appeal, Andres breaks down barriers of what an audience expects from a Latino comedian. While charming the audience with his story telling ability, which is an amusing cross between hilarity and reality, Andres always keeps the flow of laughs hard and steady. His act has been critically praised as "ethnic humor," never invading poor taste or becoming mean-spirited for the sake of a laugh. "I don't really do much topical stuff; it's all about what I'm feeling," states Fernandez. A native New Yorker, Andres says that his comedy routines mainly draw on experiences in his own family, cultural differences among people and conflicts between genders and generations. Andres further illustrates this fact by saying "My mom is Dominican born and raised in New York. But my dad is really the 'ethnic' one. So a lot of my humor has to do with my take on my father and the way he was... which was not like all the other dads in the neighborhood. I mean he trimmed the hedges with a machete!" Fernandez, a father of two, says that comics Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor influenced him the most in his childhood. "My friend and I snuck into this theater when we were kids expecting to see a movie, but instead this guy comes out on stage and just started talking about his life." That guy was Richard Pryor. "That's the day when I realized that I wanted to do the same thing with my life, and that's what I've been doing ever since." Fluent in Spanish, Andres has performed as a member of the Copa Comedy Troupe at the Copacabana, a sketch player in "El Barrio" at Caroline's, and is a ligit stage actor with the Puerto Rican Repertory Theater. Classically trained at the William Esper Studios, Andres combines his love for acting with his stand-up comedy to give his audiences a show they will never forget. Andres also has several television appearances to his credit, including NBC's Friday Night, Showtime's Latino Laugh Festival, Comedy Central's Stand Up Stand Up, a starring role in the Paramont / UPN pilot "American Family" and feature roles in soap operas on ABC, CBS and NBC.

Bette Midler showed her heart of gold to a young 28 year-old girl dying of cancer that had one last wish...for Bette to sing to her. Just 3 days before Anna passed away, Bette called her and made her dream come true, giving her hope and love in her final days on this earth. The moment caught on camera will touch you deeply and remind you of the good in people.

Happiness - Beyond Differentiation
However we describe our practice, we are longing for happiness and ease. This talk explores how we get in our own way with that, pursuing ideas of happiness while missing something fundamental about our very existence which can bring us back into the freedom of being which beckons us. Like the Sufi poet Hafiz says, "Ever since Happiness first heard your name, it has been running through the streets crying out to you."

bikini wax, DIY, Do it yourself, Hair, hairremoval, How To, Shaving, Shopping, Wax, Woohoo
I do my own waxing. Usually when I tell someone that they look at me in horror. Self-waxing is a little tricky at first I must admit, but if you can master the skill its totally worth it!
I have very thick, dark hair so if I just shave, its visible in a day or so and feels prickly almost immediately. When I wax my legs are totally smooth for at least a month.
I'd like to tell you I bought some fancy wax heating machine, but I didn't. Here's my secret. I use Sally Hansen wax that I buy from my local CVS. I think its around $12 after tax. Think of how much money you can save! Waxing at a salon is upwards of $50!!!
The Prep
What You'll Need: Sally Hansen All Over Waxing Kit, Newspaper, Baby Oil (Optional: aspirin or alcohol ;) )
- Let the hair on your legs grow out for around two weeks depending on how fast your hair grows, but not more than a quarter of an inch.
- Use an area that's flat and gives you enough room to sit and stretch your legs out. You probably won't need that much room, but its better to be safe.
- You need an old newspaper to lay down on the floor where you plan to do the waxing. Waxing can be a relatively messy process if you aren't careful, and you wouldn't want to ruin your floor.
- If you are worried about the pain you have two options. About 20 minutes before you wax either 1. Take two aspirin. 2. Take two shots. Both work equally as well numbing the pain, but I find that the alcohol makes the experience more fun (I wonder why!) If you do choose the alcohol route, make sure you know your tolerance. Drunk waxing would NOT be pretty. You just want to be buzzed.
- Take out the wax strips and leave them in your waxing area, then take the wax and a popsicle stick (to stir and apply the wax) to the microwave. (Once the wax is hot you will want to start immediately.)
- Put a paper towel under the wax, just in case you spill later. Follow the directions for heating on the package – they advise not to heat over 1 minute. The wax is usually ready when it is a goopy, pea soup kind of consistency. If it is totally liquid, wait a little bit or else you might burn yourself. Take your wax back to your waxing area..
The Nitty Gritty
- Apply the wax in the direction that the hair grows. Then, take a wax strip and press it down, smoothing it in the same direction that the hair grows. Make sure there's enough room to grab at the bottom of the strip.
- Count in your head "One, Two, Three" and then yank off the strip AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. Seriously, the quicker you pull the less it hurts. I learned that the hard way.
-Repeat until you have waxed both of your legs!
-If the wax starts to get too thick or is harder to apply, reheat it. When the wax is warmer the results are much better.
The Aftermath
Ok, so now that you're done you probably have wax everywhere, this being your first time waxing. Never fear! You have the baby oil don't you? Use it and rub it EVERYWHERE that you have any wax. For the time being it will make the sticky wax unsticky so you can shower. Once you're in the shower just rub with soap/baby oil until the wax is all gone! Not only does the baby oil keep you from feeling all sticky and gross, it makes your skin all soft!
Make sure to cap up your excess wax before you throw it out – or keep it for another round.
TIP – If you are reusing wax, but are out of strips – you can use an old pillowcase or cheap fabric from a fabric store as strips. Just cut them up in whatever sizes you need!
Woohoo, now you have smooth, sexy legs just like me!
P.S. – I also wax my own bikini area too, but that's a post for another day!
Have you ever done your own waxing? Any tips that I missed? Let me know!

The Vineyarders had become accustomed to the Martha's Vineyard Patch, and were unhappy to have our…Read Morel ocal reporter eliminated. I had already unsubscribed once when regular local reporting and coverage were eliminated. I'm taking another look, just to see if there is any value at all to subscribing. I haven't seen much left of interest, and without a local reporter it is hard to imagine this continuing to hold my interest or be worth spending any time. If this is not remedied soon, I expect I, as many others, will permanently unsusbscribe. (Pity, because I *had* been in the habit of recommending the Patch to friends and acquaintances, as a good source of keeping up with breaking news and local events.)

The redevelopment project, worth more than £21 million, over four years, will involve the provision of 260 new homes for rent and shared ownership which will be developed by the Groups Partnership Housing operation Countryside In Partnership, together with 63 homes for sale to owner occupiers which will be developed by Copthorn Homes, another Group member. The scheme will also include a number of new retail shops and business units which will be developed by Countryside Commercial.
Countryside Group Chief Executive Graham Cherry said:
"Our selection confirms the Groups position as market leaders in urban regeneration. It reflects the multi-disciplinary strengths of the Group, and our skills and expertise in unlocking complex inner city projects. This unique blend is becoming of ever-increasing value to us in a world calling for sustainable development.
I firmly believe that the need to regenerate large Council housing estates in this way will grow, given the Governments recent announcements on the provision of more housing in our urban areas, in order to protect the Green Belts. This will require major improvements to the environment of many of our urban areas, if people are to be attracted back to them. The Group is very well placed to further increase its share of the urban regeneration market."

He loves the back carry but we also do front carries for when he is tired. I am a very small mama. 105lbs 5'2". And this carrier is perfect for me.

My dream is rooted in the firm belief that every each one of us was born with something divine, a spark that was shining when we were little; our eyes, our faces, our bodies were shining.
You can still see this light in the eyes of the people that are living their dreams, that are living the life that was meant for them.
I believe that as we grow, our spark dwindles because of all the worries, all the Nos, all the You Can'ts, all the You Musts we receive from our parents, teachers, friends, partners. My dream is to light up that spark again!
I believe that organizations are sick. Most often you see sad, dragged out, lost, angry, frustrated people in corporations. I believe that these organizations are killing people's divine spark. So my dream is to help create organizations that light up the free spirit in people and cherish and make their employees flourish!
One way to accomplish my dreams is through coaching individuals and leaders to seek their inner spark and to dedicate one/two hours per week in strengthening that divine seed.
The second way is to help organizations become more aware about their culture and make conscient decisions about changing it!
Last, but not least is to help people explore their creative force. We are all creators, either of ideas, concepts, businesses, children! See how inventive and creative kids are in finding ways to play and entertain themselves! And my way to help people explore and grow their creativity is by creating a platform for creative hobbies like painting, sculpture, working with colored glass, etc. and help people make room in their lives for these hobbies!

Interventional Radiology
Interventional radiology is a rapidly growing area of medicine. Interventional radiologists are physicians who specialize in minimally invasive, specialized or targeted treatments performed using imaging guidance. The procedures are generally easier on the patient as they are minimally invasive. Most of the time, IR is less costly than surgical procedures and reduces recovery time or length of stay.
Some of the procedures that are performed in the Interventional Radiology lab:
- Angiography and balloon angioplasty
- Central venous access
- Gastrostomy tube placement
- Hemodialysis access maintenance
- Needle biopsy
- Nephrostomy tube placement
- Thrombolysis
- Uterine fibroid embolization

October 2010
First Book Review is In...
...and it's positive. Comes from Kirkus, and it goes a little something like this...
"Fear and loather is in short supply, but there are plenty of cons and cheap hustles in this lively memoir of time spent on the seamier edge of Casinoland.
Hunter Thompson it ain't, and that's refreshing for a book about Las Vegas—especially with Lax, who arrives in the capital of human frailties "at the speed limit, in my mom's SUV, carrying a dozen dress shirts, a dozen ties, a couple boxes of kitchen supplies and toiletries, a briefcase full of magic tricks, my laptop, and my mom."
Yet, like Thompson, Lax throws light on a place that seems all too familiar. A sometime lawyer and self-taught magician with a taste for what Criss Angel calls "Mindfreaks," the author is fascinated by the elaborate ways humans have developed to part other humans from their money. There is the improbably torso augmentation of his roommate, for instance, which nets bigger tips, and the card-counting, and the Mexican turnover (" a move in which you use one card to turn over a second and switch the two in the process").
It will come as no surprise to most readers that everyone is on the make in Las Vegas, and the scholarly detachment with which Lax records it merely emphasizes the ordinariness of desperation—as when he shares an episode involving a criminal with his long-suffering mom, the Greek chorus of the tale, only to be chided for his choice of companions, to which Lax responds, "He didn't' KILL anybody. He just shot some people."
Mortal peril, thankfully, doesn't come often in these pages, which are instead populated with characters such as a 450-pound male Cher impersonator and a card junkie who tears himself away from the table long enough to offer Lax tips on being a manly man: "Stop drinking white wine for starters."
An entertaining field guide to vice, but also one with a point—if you're headed anywhere near the Strip, watch your wallet."

Bruno Mars has released Young Girls, the second single off his sophomore album Unorthodox Jukebox. As the follow up to his high energy track Locked Out of Heaven, Mars first debuted Young Girls during his gig as host and musical guest on SNL this past October.
The album recording of the song features more layers and elements than Mars' rendition of the track during his SNL performance, with heavy drums, synthesizers and backing vocals. Different, but still great.
Mars' sophomore album Unorthodox Jukebox is set to be released on December 11th.

Finest Seafood I've ever had. I love this Restraunt. Friendly with excellent service. Five Stars. You got it. FIVE STARS.
Best Sea Food in town.Great shrimp and fried pickles!!! – Great Food and a good family atmosphere. Newly renovated. The resturant and bathrooms are very clean, staff was very friendly and my food was at my table with a quickness.. They were voted #1 in fried pickels and shrimp 5 years in a row. They even have oysters on the 1/2 shell and Cold Beer. PS: The prices were amazing and a lot of food I had left overs to take home. I highly recommend JL Trents Seafood. A BIG Bang for your Buck.
This no-frills seafood dive serves excellent fried fish and killer black-eyed peas. – The Food
A sign posted on the outside of Trent's Seafood summarizes its no-nonsense approach: CASH ONLY. There's not much in the way of decor, just a few plastic crabs and a stuffed fish or two mounted on the wall. Sit back and enjoy the complementary smoked trout dip with captain's wafers while you wait and listen to the P-3 airplanes come in for a landing at the Naval Air Station just across the way. Enjoy your meal but try not to linger too long; there are folks waiting outside for a table.

Nobody Knows The Rhythm Of My Heart
Nobody Knows The Rhythm Of My Heart
thank you, the lyrics are amazing, they strike a chord inside that i am sure a lot of others are aware of!
Nobody Knows The Rhythm Of My Heart
Nobody Knows The Rhythm Of My Heart
Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Closed your eyes and trusted, just trusted?
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face and said "I just don't care?"
It's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg, the sun before the burn
The thunder before the lightning, the breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?
Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
Your whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?
It's only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table, the walk before the run
The breath before the kiss, and the fear before the flames
Have you ever felt this way?
La La La La La La La La
There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee, calling me sugar
You called me sugar
Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight?
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself "Will it ever get better than tonight?"

Police procedures leaked for getting into Facebook, other accounts0
Source: http://news.cnet.com
Confidential guidelines telling police how to access Facebook, Microsoft, Blizzard, and AOL user accounts have appeared online this week.
The files, known colloquially as law enforcement guidelines, typically tell police what types of user data are stored, how long they're retained, and what procedures to use to gain access to them.
A few types of requests–for e-mail less than 180 days old, for instance–tend to require search warrants. In general, basic subscriber information can be disclosed with a subpoena, and a court order is required for more extensive information (whether that's sufficient is the subject of ongoing litigation in the Twitter-WikiLeaks case).
Here are some highlights from each company's policies:
Blizzard:Logs of Internet Protocol addresses are kept "indefinitely," according to the company behind World of Warcraft. Sent mail is not retained. Deleted mail messages are not retained.Facebook: An earlier version of the company's manual from 2008 said that "IP log data is generally retained for 90 days." That statement is missing from the newly-released 2010 version, indicating that Facebook now may store data longer (a company spokesman did not respond to that question).
Microsoft/MSN: Hotmail IP logs are kept for 60 days. MSN TV's Web site logs are kept for 13 days. No logs are kept for conversations taking place through MSN chat rooms and MSN instant messenger. The leaked document is from April 2005, though, and may be out of date.
AOL: IP logs for the AIM and ICQ messaging services are stored for up to 90 days. Customer logs are kept for 6 months. All AOL e-mail, including from portals such as AOL.ca, AOL.fr, and AOL.mx, is stored in its Northern Virginia data center.
The AOL, Blizzard, and Microsoft manuals were leaked as part of a recent data dump from Anonymous. The 2010 Facebook manual was posted by PublicIntelligence.net, a WikiLeaks-like effort that describes itself as an "international, collaborative research project."
By far the most extensive collection of not-meant-for-the-public law enforcement guidelines has been assembled by John Young, a retired architect who runs the Cryptome.org document repository from his Manhattan flat.
After its law enforcement manuals for Windows appeared on Cryptome last year, Microsoft has attempted to remove it from the Internet using the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The DMCA complaint was withdrawn a few days later. (See a related CNET Q&A with Young.)
A House of Representatives panel voted in July to require Internet providers to store customers' names, addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, and temporarily-assigned IP addresses. Previous Justice Department proposals envisioned forcing social networking sites to keep records for a few years of who uploads which photographs or videos.
In what may or may not be a coincidence, Facebook plans to post the 2011 law enforcement guide in its help center by the end of the day.
Bill Approved To Create Massive Surveillance Database Of Internet Users0
Source: http://www.prisonplanet.com 7/25/2011
Privacy busting legislation a "stalking horse for a massive expansion of federal power"
Legislation that will force Internet providers to store information on all their customers and share it with the federal government and law enforcement agencies was significantly beefed at the last minute yesterday and approved by a U.S. House of Representatives committee.
Under the guise of protecting children from internet pornographers, the House Judiciary committee voted 19-10 to approve a bill that will require Internet Service Providers to store temporarily assigned IP addresses for future government use.
In addition, the bill was re-written yesterday to also include the enforced retention of customers' names, addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers and bank account numbers.
As Declan McCullagh of CNet reports, the panel rejected an amendment that would have clarified that only IP addresses must be stored.
"The bill is mislabeled," said Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, the senior Democrat on the panel. "This is not protecting children from Internet pornography. It's creating a database for everybody in this country for a lot of other purposes."
It represents "a data bank of every digital act by every American" that would "let us find out where every single American visited Web sites," said Rep. Zoe Lofgren, who led Democratic opposition to the bill. The Californian Representative described the legislation as a "mess of a bill" and a "stalking horse for a massive expansion of federal power".
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., noted that the bill would open a Pandora's box of government abuse.
"This is not about child porn. It never has been and never will be," Issa said. "This is a convenient way for law enforcement to get what they couldn't get in the PATRIOT Act."
Advocates for the legislation include the National Sheriffs' Association, which has said it "strongly supports" mandatory data retention. The bill has also attracted endorsements from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, as well as the FBI.
In a last ditch effort to derail the bill, the ACLU, along with dozens of other privacy watchdog groups penned a letter (PDF) to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith earlier this week, noting that "any data retention mandate is a direct assault on bedrock privacy principles."
"The data retention mandate in this bill would treat every Internet user like a criminal and threaten the online privacy and free speech rights of every American, as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have recognized," Senior Staff Attorney Kevin Bankston of the Electronic Frontier Foundation said.

Harassment on the job tends to occur in certain types of workplace cultures rather than to certain types of people, research shows. Most job hunters don't take this into account and think they are immune regardless of an organization's reputation. That could be a mistake.
In FINS' informal Sign or Decline forum, 64% of 662 respondents said they'd accept their dream job if their predecessor had filed suit against the company for harassment.
A 2009 study from Ohio State University found that workplaces where there is job insecurity, weak authority figures and women occupying jobs that are typically held by men tend to have higher instances and complaints of both general and sexual harassment. This probably won't change when you join the company.
"If you're a woman going to work in a predominantly male environment, it's not a good sign that the person who directly held the role you're entering had harassment issues," said Allegra Fishel, an employment discrimination attorney with New York-based firm Outten & Golden LLP. Women filling such roles should consider whether the issue was an individual situation, or something pervasive throughout the company, she said.
"Having a job is important in this economy, but harassment can be something that's very destructive," said Fishel. "Some people think they are confident enough or think they can handle it if it happened to them, or they feel desperate for a job and are willing to put up with it."
The only people who may be immune are those at the top of the corporate food chain. People are more likely to harass and intimidate people below them, said Lynette Lewis, a New York City-based career consultant and author of Climbing the Ladder in Stilettos. In a managerial role, you may be above the influence of a problem-causing staff member, she said. If the harassment claim was against the chief executive, that may be a different story.
The nature of the complaint is also important in evaluating a prospective work environment. The word "lawsuit" is often misappropriated, said Fishel. "It could be that a lawyer sent a letter, or someone filed a complaint with an agency, or that an actual lawsuit was filed," she said. "If it's really a lawsuit, I'd give it a lot of pause."
A company may not have a toxic work environment just because it's facing a lawsuit. "There are many vindictive former employees, who may just file a suit against their company because they're bitter about being laid off," Lewis said.
Either way, before accepting a job where there's a history of harassment complaints, here are a few questions to consider asking:
Has there been turnover at the company or in the department?
In departments or organizations where there have been harassment claims, it's important to see if the individuals who were in place at the time are still there. "The individuals who are in an office create the culture," Lewis said. "Change is good for disbanding these kinds of environments."
If things at the company have changed significantly, it might be a better environment.
What's the average tenure for people who take the position?
Tenure can be a key indicator of broader organizational issues and it's especially important when considering the potential for harassment. "A lot of turnover indicates cultural problems," Lewis said. There may have been only one legal complaint, but if everyone who's held the job in the last five years has left quickly, that's a red flag.
Does the company have a teamwork approach?
The Ohio State researchers found that workplaces that place an emphasis on teamwork experienced reduced levels of sexual harassment. The researchers attribute this to heightened senses of transparency and accountability, which discourage blatant, aggressive incidences of harassment.
What's the general, man-on-the-street reputation of the company?
This is part of doing your due diligence as a job seeker. "Especially for larger companies, there are likely articles written over the years about what the company's culture is like," Lewis said. She also suggests leveraging resources like LinkedIn and Glassdoor.com to gather opinions about what working at the company is like.
What kind of worker am I?
Lewis said that this question is critical. "Are you a person who goes into a job to quickly assimilate within the existing company culture, or are you a change-agent who tries to exceed limits and instigate change?" Be honest with yourself: "Don't put yourself in a position where you're going against your personality. You need to avoid putting yourself in the line of fire."

Alonso enjoying pain-free season
Fernando Alonso has revealed the secret of his push for triple Formula One world title glory this season - staying pain free.
Alonso heads into Sunday's German Grand Prix with a 13-point lead over Red Bull's Mark Webber, whilst reigning champion Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton are 29 and 37 adrift respectively.
Without doubt Alonso has been at the top of his game, pulling a struggling Ferrari up by its bootstraps to extract performance when many feared at the start of the year it would be a dud.
With the Spaniard currently on a run of 21 races in the points, just three shy of Michael Schumacher's all-time record of 24, Alonso feels he is physically better than ever.
"Physically this is my best season because in previous years - you didn't know - either my leg, my shoulder or something had pain, or I didn't have good preparation," said Alonso.
"So far this year, all 10 races, I have arrived at every race 100%, which has been good.
"I always work very hard. Obviously we don't go to an office for eight hours a day, we just need to train.
"I do four or five hours training per day, which I enjoy because I love the sport, so it's a lot of training.
"But this year I am in the best condition of my career."
That has been reflected in Alonso's performances as he is one of only two drivers to win two races this season and has been on the podium on a further three occasions.
The 30-year-old, however, is growing concerned at Red Bull's new-found pace and form as Vettel was cruising to victory in Valencia until an alternator problem ended his race, whilst Mark Webber was on the ball to win the British Grand Prix 12 days ago.
"Red Bull has been a little quicker than everybody else, not for just the last two or three grands prix, since Bahrain," added Alonso.
"In the last six grands prix they have had pole position in four, so they are definitely a little ahead in terms of performance and so we need to catch up."
Alonso, though, cannot fault what he has achieved this season to give him the edge in the title battle as he looks to add to those he won in 2005 and 2006.
"It's true the factors involved in this championship so far have been good for us," said Alonso.
"I made a mistake in qualifying in Australia, but apart from that I probably wouldn't change too many things I've done so far.
"This is good news because you always have mistakes here and there."

Which Halifax Moosehead will make a more immediate impact in the NHL? Drouin or MacKinnon?
Before major junior hockey started the 2012-2013 season, all eyes were on Portland Winterhawks blueliner Seth Jones and Halifax Mooseheads center Nathan MacKinnon in a race for the number one pick at the 2013 NHL Draft.
Fast forward to February and both Jones and MacKinnon have taken turns flip-flopping between 1st and 2nd in most experts rankings, including ISS, NHL Central Scouting and TSN. (Note that Russian left-winger Valery Nichuskin has snuck into the no. 2 spot behind Jones in ISS's February top 30 ranking.)
When it comes to fantasy hockey drafts next season, MacKinnon won't be a shoe-in as the first rookie off the board. A good case could be made that it should be his Halifax teammate, Jonathan Drouin.
I am currently doing an internship shooting Halifax Mooseheads games and interviews with John Moore, the play-by-play man for the team, for the website sportsandmoore.com. This has given me a chance to watch the majority of Drouin and MacKinnon's home games and the CHL Top Prospects game as well as film interviews with various NHL experts and hear their thoughts on the two players.
Drouin makes a splash
Drouin burst onto the scene at this year's World Junior tournament where he ended up playing on the top-line for a Canadian team that performed well below expectations. The Globe and Mail ran a story on the front page of its Jan. 2 sports section with a photo of Drouin and the headline "Jonathan Drouin has gone from under the radar to boy wonder." He finished with 2 goals and 2 assists and +4 while Halifax teammate Nathan MacKinnon had 1 assist and was -1 while playing at the bottom of the lineup.
Head to head QMJHL statistics
It wouldn't make sense to conclude which player is better based on one tournament, especially one where Drouin and MacKinnon were asked to play different roles for Canada.
A look at their stats as of Thursday, Feb. 21 shows Drouin (40 games played, 35 goals, 41 assists, 76 points) has posted a better points per game average and goals per game average than MacKinnon (41 games played, 28 goals, 41 assists, 69 points)
Goals/Games Payed
Points/Games Played
Jonathan Drouin
Nathan MacKinnon
While both players are exceptionally skilled and have wowed hockey fans and scouts all season long with highlight reel goals and moves, the quick hands of Jonathan Drouin have really stood out. Although he didn't score on the play, Drouin undressed a Baie Comeau Drakkar defenseman with jaw-dropping stick work, a highlight that NHL scouts at the Halifax Metro Centre were talking about for days after.
Edmonton Oilers VP of Hockey Operations Craig MacTavish said "When you're assessing stick skill with him, he'd be off the chart in terms of ability to make plays and handle the puck and jaw-dropping displays of skills at time."
Director of NHL Central Scouting Dan Marr, he said "(Drouin) plays the game with such accuracy and at such a high tempo, not too many players know what's happening until the puck is on their stick."
Size and speed
Both Mooseheads are similar in size with MacKinnon measuring 5'11" and 179 pounds while Drouin is 5'11" and 176 pounds. Both players are strong skaters with the ability to separate from opponents leading to plenty of scoring opportunities.
When Kevin Devine, Buffalo Sabres director of amateur scouting, was in Halifax for the CHL top prospects game, he spoke highly of MacKinnon saying "He's the most explosive skater I've seen in a long time. His compete level is through the roof."
Tampa Bay Lightening general manager Steve Yzerman also commented on MacKinnon's speed when interviewed at the top prospects game. "He's as good a skater as an 18 year-old as I've ever seen. He's a tremendous skater, really powerful. He has good skills and he looks like he competes hard. He's a tremendous prospect."
When they are both healthy, the two players have been on the same line along with Detroit Red Wing draft pick Martin Frk (drafted 2nd round, 49th overall, 2012). Both players see significant time on the powerplay and penalty kill. Drouin in particular has looked good on the penalty kill this season with multiple breakaways while a man down and has four shorthanded goals.
Success while teammate is injured
Both Drouin and MacKinnon have missed time because of injuries this season. Drouin missed 6 games in October after sustaining an upper body injury. MacKinnon has missed 5 games and is expected to miss more time while recovering from a MCL injury.
Both players have shown the ability to step their game up a notch when counted on more because of injuries. Drouin had a hat-trick that included a shorthanded goal versus the PEI Rocket on Feb. 12 when MacKinnon missed his first game because of the injury. MacKinnon scored a goal in all 6 games that Drouin missed including two games with 2 goals.
This table shows both players goals per game average and points per game average for the season as well as those stats for the games played without their teammate.

Without teammate
Reg. Season PTS/GP

Fantasy Drafts
While most drafts are still months away, fantasy managers, especially those in keeper leagues, are already thinking ahead to the incoming rookie crop. Both MacKinnon and Drouin have been spoken of highly by scouts and seem to have both the skill set and size to be very good NHL players one day. Both players have proved that they can excel independent of each other's presence in the lineup and both players can step up their game when needed.
Drouin is a more attractive fantasy prospect for next season because of his goal skilling ability and strong playmaking skills that compliment a good work ethic.
Five years down the road, don't be surprised if both players are elite fantasy options.

Wednesday, Connecticut Light & Power linemen took members from the media along as they fixed downed power lines in East Lyme.
Along the way, the linemen and CL&P Spokesman Mitch Gross gave information on how CL&P fixes the lines and the way they are handling this storm response. Some of the highlights:
- CL&P first focused on clearing the roads (often lines are down and the power needs to be shut off), and then focuses on fixing primary power lines, then secondary primary lines. At this point, CL&P said most of the roads are clear and now they are almost exclusively focusing on restoration. The primary power lines are the main circuits that feed thousands of homes. The secondary lines are the ones down smaller streets. CL&P has crews that can only do secondary lines, and while they are working on those secondary lines the power will not come back on until the primary line is back up.
- Along those lines, often fixing a spot on a primary line can bring back power in many towns. For example, the main line through Montville also serves Quaker Hill. So while Quaker Hill people may not see CL&P workers in Waterford, they could still get power back.
- Each town makes up a list of what its top priorities are to get back online. Generally, it is wherever the shelter is first, and then fire and police stations, then schools.
- Each impacted town is assigned a line crew that helps them clear the roads.
- CL&P has a machine, called a track machine, which can go into the woods so workers can fix lines on CL&P right-of-ways that are deep in the woods. Often, these lines were put in areas that were fields, but trees have sense grown and now they are dense forests. Before the track machine can be deployed, the trees must be cut back, as shown in the video above.
As of Thursday afternoon, 242,739 CL&P customers remained without power, including 5,668 in New London.

8 Ways a Job Interview Can Take a Turn for the Worse
Top career experts and corporate recruiters share situations that can derail a job interview, along with advice on how job seekers can get back on track.
Fri, May 07, 2010
CIO — So you arrive at a big job interview confident and prepared. It starts off strong. Conversation flows smoothly. You're saying all the right things.
Suddenly, the hiring manager asks you a question you didn't anticipate.
The "deer in the headlights" look washes over your face. You flounder for an answer that fails to impress the hiring manager. Your confidence takes a hit, and the interview, along with any chance of getting the job, quickly head south.
Whether it's a surprise question, a wardrobe malfunction or the hour-long interview that unexpectedly turns into a day-long affair, job interviews are filled with on-the-spot situations that must be handled deftly by the candidate. If not, these situations will sink even the most prepared professional.
To help you anticipate these unexpected twists and turns, career experts and corporate recruiters shared eight situations that can come up during a job interview. They offer advice on how to navigate them gracefully so that you can get the interview back on track.
1. You're caught off-guard by an inappropriate or illegal question.
By law, employers aren't allowed to ask job seekers certain questions, such as "Are you married?" or "Do you have kids?" But some hiring managers do so anyway, and these questions can throw a candidate for a loop.
Susan Whitcomb, a career coach who's authored a variety of books on career management, including Interview Magic, recommends a three-step process for answering touchy questions:
- Avoid a direct response to an illegal question if it has the slightest chance of hurting your candidacy.
- Address the hiring manager's underlying concern that's driving the question.
- Accentuate a positive character trait or skill that will resound with the hiring manager.
When asked if you're married, for instance, Whitcomb suggests a job seeker reply like this: "I'm in a solid relationship. I'm blessed to have someone who supports me wholly in my career. You may wonder about my personal life and how it might affect my ability to travel and my work hours. My last position required me to work 60 hours a week and to travel once a month. I love that quiet time in the hotel at night when I can really focus on my work."
2. You need to address the dreaded "sticky wicket."
Many job candidates have a "sticky wicket" in their employment histories, such as a layoff, job-hopping or even termination with cause. Candidates who have these issues are in a particularly sticky situation. How they handle discussing their employment history can mean the difference between staying in the game and sudden-death elimination.

Look out lawmakers
The Columbus Dispatch - July 17, 2013 4:07 PM
Should Democrat Ed FitzGerald upset Republican Gov. John Kasich next year, beware ye GOP-dominated legislature.
"There's going to be an enormous showdown between my office, if I am elected governor, and the legislature," FitzGerald said in a speech Saturday to Fairfield County Democrats. "An enormous showdown, and I can't predict how it's going to turn out. But my guess is it's going to be a pretty dramatic confrontation where I am going to be calling them into session over and over and over again, where we are probably going to put some things on the ballot directly."
FitzGerald, the Democratic Cuyahoga County executive, also had a dire prediction for his party's chances come election time in various House and Senate races.
"And the chances of us, we have a small chance to with the House of Representatives, it's a very small chance to at least get to the point where they wouldn't be able to override my vetoes," FitzGerald said. "That's what I am hoping is going to happen. The Senate has not been competitive for a couple of decades."
Nothing FitzGerald said there is inaccurate. Republicans already hold 60 of 99 seats and drew the districts for their members to be safe. The Senate has long been in GOP control.
For the sake of argument, if FitzGerald were elected governor, it would take 60 GOP votes to override his vetoes. So, Democrats would need to win (drumroll, please) ... one extra seat.

The Gamecocks found one in Damarcus James.
The powerful sophomore who's as hard as a transfer truck to tackle came out of the locker room running like a semi Saturday, and it sparked the Gamecocks to a big third quarter that carried them to a 38-23 win over Austin Peay, which secured a record-setting 10th straight winning season in the program
James didn't score a touchdown in the second half, but he did run for 142 of his 149 yards in the half — 75 in the third quarter — to bring JSU back from an unfocused start.
"He's a very physical runner who just advances the ball," JSU coach Jack Crowe said. "That boy, now, he's serious about what he does on the football field; he don't take nothing lightly.
"But he was the guy I thought could create the physicalness in the running game, and I thought we should be more physical than they were. We just had to play that way. When 'Coot's' in there you just become a more physical football team. He did set the tempo for the second half."
The Gamecocks (6-4, 5-3 OVC) needed something.
James fumbled away their first possession inside the 5 on his first carry of the day. The Gamecocks ultimately fell behind a team that hadn't beaten an NCAA team this year 14-0.
Actually, they were lucky to be trailing only 16-14 at halfitme, and it caused a lot of soul searching. If the Gamecocks didn't pull out this one, they would have been hard-pressed to secure that winning season next week at Florida. Crowe said he put in his two cents, then let the seniors do the rest.
"We went into the locker rom and they were up two points on us and we really know they're not two points better than us," senior running back Washaun Ealey said. "We went in there, talked to each other, made adjustments, motivated each other, talked a little trash to get some emotion into the game, and I really felt like guys came out and stepped up to the challenge."
James in particular. He carried the first two plays of the third quarter and took it for 25 and 13 yards. He had a 60-yard burst in the fourth quarter.
"They just told us to come and play hard," James said. "When they give me the ball, I have to answer."
The 149 yards matched James' career high, set Sept. 29 against Southeast Missouri. It was his fifth 100-yard game of the season and second in a row after missing two games with a concussion.
Behind James' powerful running, the Gamecocks scored touchdowns on all three of their possessions in the third quarter, turning that 16-14 deficit into a 35-16 lead going into the fourth quarter.
Marques Ivory finished James' strong start to the opening drive with a 10-yard touchdown run to give JSU its first lead. Ealey had the other two scores, but in a rather unconventional way, for him. He caught two touchdown passes — a 10-yarder from Ivory and a 27-yarder from Coty Blanchard. The Gamecocks had 204 net yards in the quarter.
Ealey was the Gamecocks' leading receiver with four catches. Alan Bonner caught two balls for 91 yards, including a 71-yarder that set up JSU's first touchdown, a 7-yard run by James.
"I think Washaun is a great guy to throw the ball to," Crowe said. "Do we do it enough? I'd like to get it to him more."
The Gamecocks might have had what seemed like a comfortable lead going into the fourth quarter, but the Governors (1-9, 0-7) were moving the ball well enough to be troublesome.
Peay had more success against JSU than any team it played this season, even NAIA Culver-Stockton in its first victory of the season last week. The Govs amassed 497 yards on 86 snaps — 30 more than the Gamecocks. Quarterback Jake Ryan threw for 375 yards and three touchdowns while setting Peay records for completions (40) and attempts (61).
JSU had only seven snaps in the first quarter. Peay, meanwhile, put together touchdown drives of 96 and 68 yards to open its 14-0 lead, with Ryan throwing scoring strikes to Mikhail Creech and Devin Stark.
The Gamecocks did rally to tie it at 14 — on touchdown runs by James and Washaun Ealey — and avoided falling behind when Peay kicker Stephen Stansell missed a 30-yard field goal with 2:42 left in the half. But they couldn't avoid falling behind less than a minute later when a bad snap sailed over punter Hamish MacInnes' head and the Aussie freshman had the poise to push the ball out of the end zone for just a safety.
The Gamecocks managed to take that margin into the dressing room when freshman Erick Butler blocked a Stansell field-goal attempt on the final play of the half.
"We were down two points and I was just trying to do my part to help the team so we wouldn't fall down by more," Butler said. "I figured if I blocked the kick it would help us move forward and we could have momentum in the second half."
Those two missed attempts proved important for the way Peay played in the red zone in the fourth quarter while it tried to rally. On consecutive possessions late in the game, the Govs went for it on fourth down instead of trotting out Stansell for another field-goal attempt.
The Gamecocks have had a winning season every year they've been in the Ohio Valley Conference. They were 5-0 at home for the third time since 2004. The victory also made this senior class one of three with 30 career wins since the program left Division II.
"We were able to close out the home season with a win for our seniors and, really, I think a homestand this year that we're proud of," Crowe said. "I'm happy with the win and certainly happy with winning five at home."

This is a nice family-owned hostel a little bit outside of the center of San Pedro. But still, you can walk easily to the center and the hostel owner will pick you up at the bus station to bring you to the hostel. It's probably not the best place if you are looking to meet party people and you should speak spanish to communicate with the family.

This was a quiet, clean and very pleasant hostel. There aren't always English speaking staff on sight, I think they get called to come when it's thought to be necessary. It's about a 10-15 walk from the centre of town which can be a bit daunting at night due to some poor lighting and being away from the busy/touristy area. The female members of our group got hassled by locals during the walk, so maybe not the best option for solo female travellers.
